MixMenu.com starts to deliver pints.

Posted on December 28th, 2011, by Gus Rancatore in Uncategorized

Our Tommy is delivering pints to MixMenu.com. Then they will deliver the pints to you. We’re all starting with these four flavors.

French Vanilla, by definition is rich with egg yolks, accounting for its mouthfeel.

Belgian Chocolate is made with Callebaut chocolate from Belgium. Belgium has great chocolate and great laws concerning the quality of chocolate. We make many chocolate ice creams. This is our most popular, and also our lightest. Cocoa Pudding is our darkest and is made with expensive Cacao Barry cocoa from France.

Hydrox cookies have a terrible name. The word sounds like Clorox. Too bad. I love loved these cookies as a child and still love them. They were invented before Oreos, but Oreos became much more popular. Growing up in NYC, Hydrox were popular because they were always kosher. They’re also always vegan so we continue to use them.

Burnt Caramel is one of our signature flavors. It is the happy result of a mistake. Late one night we were trying to make Caramel ice cream, which like risotto requires constant attention. We got distracted and then the caramel was burnt. But our neighbor, Bruce Frankel, chef owner of 798 Main stopped by to borrow heavy cream. He reassured us that “Burnt Caramel” was a popular flavor, particularly in parts of Spain. We kept doing it and finally Adam Simha pulled out all the graphite rods and perfected it.
